2011-2012 Ups & Downs

26th November 2011

2011 has been an interesting year for us here at West Coast Juggling, we have had many ups and downs. We’ve also had many awesome new experiences and met many amazing people along the way. We traveled along the west coast, vending performing & teaching.  In July, Devil Stix Dave and Akasha’s 7 year relationship ended & Dave is running WCJ alone now, although Dave and Akasha are still friends and she is still a WCJ consultant & performer. On top of that, on July 14th 2011 our site got hacked & we had to build a new store. WCJ has also moved locations 4 times. On a lighter note, we now have a much bigger & better work shop to build our toys. :) (New Machines….Yea I love big kid toys!!!) In the last year we have had many problems with items breaking that we did not manufacture our selves, to fix this we are working our hardest to make as many in-house items on our site as we can and to discontinue faulty items. This next year should be epic on many levels!

Oregon Festival Vending

25th August 2011

This year we teamed up with a true Jedi one of our best friends from the fire community Nathan Muchuta from Phoenix Arizona. We traveled to the NWWRF, Cougar Hot Springs & the Mountain Stomp Festival. :)

 

North West World Reggae Music Festival

Located in Marcola Oregon, this 3 day camp-out reggae music festival was a TON of fun to say the least, and definitely family-friendly! =c) It’s one of the smaller festivals that we vend at, with a very friendly community vibe to it.  We will most certainly be returning next August to vend again.

(For more information on the NW World Reggae festival, please visit www.nwworldreggae.com)

 

Mountain Stomp

Located deep in the Oregon woods, nestled in the Siuslaw National Forest, lies Prindel Creek Farm the location of the Mountain Stomp Festival. This 3 day camp-out bluegrass music festival was also a TON of fun to say the least, and definitely family-friendly (they have a kids circus)! =c) It’s one of the smaller festivals that we vend at, with a very friendly community vibe to it.
